When I was growing up, there was this rich billionaire philanthropist who had a newspaper column where everyday people could write in and ask him to grant some type of monetary request. It was never anything like getting a million dollars; rather, people would write in and ask for $500 to buy a wheelchair for their grandmother or $100 to take their girlfriend out to dinner or $4,000 toward their kid's braces... stuff like that. What would your wish be?

My dream is to set up a day centre for old destitute folks... In every part of my country where there is a need.
And create jobs for these old folks. Just simple ones since some more them probably have hearing/eyesight problems or aren't very mobile. They can do simple jobs like folding, sticking, counting, whatever... come in 3 times a week in the mornings and get paid maybe $200 a month. The centre would also provide free lunch for these workers.
Other than that, other old/destitute folks who can't work can come for free dinner everyday. There'll be rooms where they can go watch TV programs and we'd run different activities for them in the afternoons.

I wrote to that guy when I was about 15. Obviously he never wrote me back.
If I was writing to him again, and he was only giving out 1000 for a wheelchair, I would ask him for $50,000 to put me through pharmacy school. Sorry, inflation.
If I was going to ask for ANYTHING, I would ask:
1. To remove all terrorists from the planet, and to allow my children to live long happy lives.
2. To supply us with a clean, safe, cheap, and abundant form of energy.
3. To provide me with 10 million dollars!

There not terrified of loss of life it is why they flew the plains into our homes, they actually believed it became into the superb element of do (die for his or her united states of america)? He shouldn't get carry of the loss of life penalty yet go through in our prisons surrounded by potential of people who hate him! no person would desire to get a decision, then what could be the ingredient and it would be unfair to something.

If you give a person a fish, then you give him food, but if you give him a hook ,youll give him food forever. For me, I will choose the one that will make food forever.
